Here&#39;s what i was able to research: <br /><br /> Intense pain is not obvious at the site of the sea snake bite; 30 minutes after the bite there is stiffness, muscle aches and spasm of the jaw followed by moderate to severe pain in the affected limb. There follows progressive CNS symptoms of blurred vision, drowsiness and finally respiratory paralysis. A specific antivenin is available. <br /><br />Good news!: Most sea snake bites occur on trawlers, when the snakes are sometimes hauled in with the catch. Only a small proportion of bites are fatal to man, as the snake can control the amount of envenomation, a fact probably accounting for the large number of folk cures said to be 95% effective.Pinoy Boy Journalshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07048202064827552489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8077918758660027342.post-75271563163201706022011-02-12T13:54:56.394+08:002011-02-12T13:54:56.394+08:00Do those sea snakes bite?Do those sea snakes bite?Ian | Going Placeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02891985618383684544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8077918758660027342.post-33070499266496691622011-02-11T11:51:46.764+08:002011-02-11T11:51:46.764+08:00@Ang Babaeng Lakwatsera ewan ko ba, na-enjoy ko la...@Ang Babaeng Lakwatsera ewan ko ba, na-enjoy ko lang ang solo traveling talaga! i also commend other travelers who brave the world. like si Chyng, watch out for her post sa trip niya this weekend. exciting! he hePinoy Boy Journalshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07048202064827552489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8077918758660027342.post-1729170625471513942011-02-11T11:48:34.053+08:002011-02-11T11:48:34.053+08:00@Ian maraming sea snakes talaga, i saw about two a...@Ian maraming sea snakes talaga, i saw about two at one time. from research, sea snakes usually roam at the bottom of the sea, so if you&#39;re floating snorkeling, you&#39;re still good.
